Chapter 536: Ninth-Order Skill: Charcoal Fire
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhang Chen smiled triumphantly: "It's a coincidence, isn't it? I happen to have mastered a sealing divine power, and sealing that guy for seven or eight days is no problem."
"Brother, you have such great skills, you've kept it from me so well," Chen Ping said with a wry smile.
"Eat meat." Zhang Chen added a bowl of meat to Chen Ping: "You didn't ask me, did you? Our mother and son have been traveling in the world, and we can still live well. Naturally, we have excellent skills. Is it my fault that you didn't think of it?"
The bitterness at the corner of Chen Ping's mouth deepened, and he only said: "It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive! I originally wanted to return to Jinling to repay you, but now it seems that you don't need my repayment at all? In the future, I will need you to take care of me."
While the two were talking, Chen Ping finished all the stewed meat and then looked at Zhang Chen: "Brother Zhang, let's part ways here."
Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this: "Aren't you going back to Jinling with me?"
"I lost the target object. I still need to retrieve it," Chen Ping said, drinking the last mouthful of meat soup, a cold look appearing in his eyes.
A look of worry appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes. He was about to speak when he heard Chen Ping say: "Good brother, you don't have to worry about me. There is a branch of my Dragon Tiger Escort Agency in the territory of this Pingbei Marquis. I will naturally have experts to support me at that time, but I can't go to Jinling with you. With your current skills, it is not difficult to go to Jinling, but after arriving in Jinling, remember to find me, so I can do my best as a host."
"Of course, I remember," Zhang Chen nodded.
"I'm leaving now!" Chen Ping slowly stood up.
Zhang Chen didn't try to persuade him any further, because he knew Chen Ping's physical condition. After eating the medicinal pills refined by Xu Erniu, he had recovered to a large extent.
Those were the medicinal pills refined by Xu Erniu, how could they be ordinary things?
Chen Ping bid farewell and left. The girl gently supported Chen Ping, and the two disappeared into the darkness, leaving Zhang Chen looking at the bonfire in front of him, no longer needing to be like when he was in the territory of the King of Pingbian, where he didn't even dare to light a bonfire.
At this time, the chirping of birds came from the darkness, and unknown beasts roared in the night. Although it seemed eerie, Zhang Chen felt extremely at ease. Here, he no longer had to worry about monsters lurking in the dark.
Zhang Chen sat cross-legged in front of the bonfire, tightened the animal skin on his body, a look of contemplation appearing in his eyes, and then his eyes looked at his Golden Finger panel:
[19 Skill (Eighth Order): A trace of Sun True Fire Embers (1000000000 / 100000000)]
A drop of Emperor Fluid can be converted into one hundred thousand Sun Ember experience points (ten drops of Emperor Fluid are converted into fifty thousand points). Zhang Chen can probably absorb ten drops of Emperor Fluid a day. Now, several months have passed, and after excluding rainy days, the Emperor Fluid used to feed the bumblebees, and sometimes the time is delayed, after all, it is impossible for people to continuously absorb the essence of the Great Sun throughout the entire day. It is already rare to have half the time to absorb the essence of the sun.
Today, just after passing the Tiger Soul Pass, Zhang Chen's experience value was complete, and one hundred million experience points were converted.
One million a day, so if you want to upgrade this skill, with the cooperation of Emperor Fluid, it won't take much time.
Counting back and forth, starting from the small village in the North, and counting the delays along the way, it has been about two hundred days, just enough to accumulate enough points.
[19 Skill (Eighth Order): A trace of Sun True Fire Embers (1000000000 / 100000000)]
[Status: Upgradeable]
Zhang Chen looked at the Golden Finger panel and directly clicked down without thinking: "Upgrade."
[19 Skill (Ninth Order): Charcoal Fire in the Sun ( / 1000000000 )]
A simple introduction made Zhang Chen's eyes light up. Charcoal fire in the sun?
Charcoal fire is much better than embers! It's simply two different states!
Although charcoal fire is the state after the flame is extinguished, as long as fuel is added, it can be easily re-ignited, and the charcoal fire also has extremely high temperature. Although it does not have the scattering power of a flame, its internal temperature will not be lower than that of a flame, it is just that it has not reached the ignition point, but it is not much lower than the ignition point.
"This is my first ninth-order skill, I wonder what its power is." Zhang Chen looked at the Golden Finger panel, and his whole person was a little dazed. Now in this damn world, he finally had a trace of self-preservation. Even if he faced a ninth-order Yang God True Person, he, Zhang Chen, was no longer a completely crawling ant.
"It's not easy! If I had mastered this skill at the beginning, I wouldn't have lived so embarrassingly in the North," Zhang Chen sighed faintly, a kind of inexplicable emotion in his voice, and endless fatigue.
Wrapping the tiger skin coat on his body, and adding some firewood to the bonfire, Zhang Chen turned around and drilled into the leaky tent: "I won't cultivate tonight, I'll just sleep soundly, relax well, and celebrate a bit."
He was very happy in his heart. According to the current speed, in a few years, his first tenth-order skill might not be far from being created.
He spent two hundred days creating a ninth-order skill, and if the ninth-order Sun Charcoal Fire wants to step into the tenth-order, it needs one billion experience points, which means that as long as he works hard for another two thousand days, he should be able to create a tenth-order skill.
Two thousand days is only seven or eight years!
Others are still struggling in the Yang God realm for seven or eight years, but what about himself?
He has already mastered the power of the tenth-order, how could Zhang Chen not be excited?
"I will just stay in Jiangnan for ten years, and when I create a tenth-order skill, I will see who dares to speak loudly to me," Zhang Chen thought to himself, he didn't test the power of his Sun Charcoal Fire, but the power of the Sun Charcoal Fire is definitely not weak.
"When I reach the tenth-order, if there are no accidents, I should be able to create Sun True Fire," Zhang Chen secretly speculated and pondered.
As for keeping watch?
Is there a need to keep watch?
With the Blood God Child clone, there is no need for Zhang Chen to keep watch. In the past, Zhang Chen kept watch just to absorb more essence of the sun and moon.
The Blood God Child turned into a drop of blood, lurking on the green grass outside the tent, hanging on the branches and leaves of the green grass like a drop of crimson dew.
The next day, as soon as the sky dawned, Zhang Chen had already climbed out of the tent and ran to an open space to absorb the purple energy of the Great Sun. Now that his skill has stepped into the ninth-order, it is a time when he is ambitious and full of energy.
Zhang Shi and others got up one after another, but did not directly make breakfast, but first practiced martial arts, or practiced visualization, and then prepared breakfast after the practice was completed.
Today's breakfast is still meat soup.
"Brother, can we not eat meat? We have been eating meat every day along the way, and I am about to throw up. Can we eat some rice? Now that we have left the territory of the King of Pingbian, why don't we go to the city to exchange some meat for rice?" Zhang Fei couldn't bear the hardship and complained while drinking the meat soup.
"We are vagrants now, we can't enter the city, where can we exchange rice for you?" Zhang Chen said angrily.
The so-called vagrants, the 'vagrant' refers to people who have no fixed residence and no house. 'Vagrant' refers to people who have no formal job.
This is the explanation of the word vagrant in this world.
"You can go to the nearby villages to exchange some," Zhang Shi rarely interjected, it can be seen that she is also tired of eating meat.
Zhang Chen looked at the stewed meat in his hand, and he also felt a little tired of it, after all, no one can stand eating meat every day?
"We'll see," Zhang Chen said helplessly.
He knew that those villages were extremely exclusive, and if he was not careful, he would be caught by the other party and reported to the authorities.
No matter where it is, in order to maintain local stability, the crackdown on vagrants is extremely serious.
Vagrants are best at committing adultery and arson, murder and looting, and are the most unstable factors. Once caught by the government, they will be labeled as slaves, and there will be no chance of turning over.
And the person who reports will receive a large sum of money from selling slaves, which is also a way to get rich, and it is also a very effective management system of the ancients.
After the family finished breakfast, they drove the carriage to the distance, but after walking for half a day, Zhang Chen encountered another problem: "I don't know the way!"
The road to the south is easy to find, just keep going south, but if you want to accurately find Jinling without taking detours, it will be an extremely difficult thing.
As for asking people for directions?
The common people in this era rarely go to the county town on weekdays, how would they know Jinling thousands of miles away?
So, when Zhang Chen was resting at noon, Zhang Chen stood in the sun absorbing the essence of the Great Sun, a look of bewilderment appearing in his eyes: "I need a guide now."
As for the refugees who went south together, they had no purpose at all. Everyone was rushing south, as long as they could reach the water towns of Jiangnan, how would they know which city in Jiangnan to go to?
"It's difficult!" Zhang Chen missed the satellite map of his previous life very much.
"Have you encountered a problem?" Zhang Shi saw Zhang Chen standing in the sun with a sad face, put down the spoon and came over to ask.
"I'm lost, I don't know the way to Jinling to the south," Zhang Chen said with a wry smile.
Zhang Shi was dumbfounded when she heard this, and after a moment, she said: "This matter still needs to find someone to lead the way."
"Where is there someone to lead the way?" Zhang Chen asked.
"The镖师 (Biaoshi) who travel north and south, or the traveling merchants who walk in the area, should know the road from south to north, and may be able to point us in the direction," Zhang Shi said.
Zhang Chen scratched his head, his pockets are empty now, where does he have the money to hire someone to lead the way?
"It would be nice to have a map," Zhang Chen muttered to himself again.
If there is a map, he can probably follow the map, and he can also explore the direction.
"I still need to enter the city tomorrow to buy a map to Jinling," Zhang Chen made a decision in his heart.
As for his vagrant problem?
That's not a problem! With his escape technique, who can catch him? Who has the ability to check his origin?
Zhang Chen muttered to himself, and then continued on his way after eating lunch.
As for the matter of money? It's not difficult, as long as he finds some prey and sells it for money.
As for the act of stealing, Zhang Chen disdains to do it, it does not conform to the Dao in his heart.
This time, helping the people to cross the Tiger Soul Pass, Zhang Chen noticed the changes in his state of mind, and noticed the mystery of 'practicing' and 'proving the Dao'.
He has already clarified his mind and seen his nature. Once the True Yang is born, the next step is to continuously practice and adhere to his own nature and Dao, so that his True Yang is not stained with dust.
